Book description
Filled with intriguing true stories, and packed with black-and-white
illustrations and photographs, The Forensic Casebook draws on
interviews with police personnel and forensic scientists - including
animal examiners, botanists, zoologists, firearms specialists, and
autopsists - to uncover the vast and detailed under workings of
criminal investigation.
Encyclopaedic in scope, this riveting, authoritative book leaves no
aspect of forensic science untouched, covering such fascinating topics
as securing a crime scene, identifying blood splatter patterns,
collecting fingerprints, and feet, lip and ear prints and career paths
in criminal science.
Lucidly written and spiked with real crime stories, The Forensic
Casebook exposes the nitty-gritty that other books only touch upon.
